    Break in additive for new engine build

     



    My engine was broken in and dynoed back in November. I am getting ready to crank her up for the first time since. I have changed the oil and was wondering if it would be wise to run a break in additive for a while?

    It's a non roller hydraulic 468 BBC. Have not tried yet looking up SFR. Is it handy at the local big box auto supply?

    OK Tech I got your message above and am looking for ZDDP. I am getting old but the brain is too fast some times to over look things.

    That's what I use in my daily driver 300-6 Ford pickup. Don't know why I didn't link it...
